Considering EduPage for your school? It's a serious global product with genuinely world-leading timetabling. The question for a South African school is what it doesn't cover locally — fees in ZAR, SA-SAMS, Afrikaans, local support — and what that costs you in extra systems.

Where EduPage is strongest
- Timetabling — aSc TimeTables is the world-leading timetable generator, refined across thousands of schools in 170+ countries. If a complicated timetable is your school's hardest problem, this is the benchmark.
- Global scale — 173 countries and 150,000 schools by their own count.
- Breadth — "100 features in 1 system", from room booking to e-learning, that grow stronger used together.
If those are the things you need most, EduPage is a credible choice worth evaluating.
Where MyEncore is different
South Africa is the product, not a market. SA-SAMS integration, ZAR fee billing, Netcash payments, Afrikaans and English, POPIA-first encryption and SA data hosting are standard — not localisation on top of a global core.
Money handled locally. Fee invoicing and statements in the parent app, instalment arrangements with automatic Netcash collection, and no percentage taken off parent payments.
School life, not just school admin. Sports with live-streamed matches and real-time scoreboards, event ticketing, tuckshop and uniform marketplace — in the same parent app.
Local team, weekly releases. A South African vendor you can phone, with over-the-air app updates shipping weekly — and transparent published pricing at R50/learner/year.
Which is right for your school?
EduPage may fit better if:
- Automated timetable generation for a complex school is your single hardest problem
- You're part of an international school group standardising on one global system
- Local fee billing, SA-SAMS and Afrikaans are handled elsewhere and not needed in-platform
MyEncore likely fits better if:
- You need SA-SAMS, ZAR fees and Afrikaans as first-class features, not workarounds
- You want parents in one daily-use app covering fees, homework, sport and news
- You want published pricing and a local support relationship
- School sport — streamed, scored and ticketed — matters to your community
